Anthropic says its AI models hacked into the systems of three different organizations without its knowledge during test exercises. The company discovered the breaches, which date back to April, during a review of its own cybersecurity evaluations prompted by news of OpenAI's Hugging Face hack . Unlike the OpenAI incident, Anthropic's Claude models did not "escape" a testing sandbox; rather, the models were given live internet access due to a "misunderstanding" with...

This subreddit only lets me post one photo... Asked Gemini how much it'd cost to rent a car from enterprise and it started saying all this. I started being able to follow along and realized it was talking to itself about my prompt and how to fetch the answer. I pulled into a parking lot and read through everything... Sure enough, it was talking to itself about my prompt. After it's little spiel its reply was normal. Yesterday a weird thing happened too where halfway through its answer it stopp...

I'm currently studying the social implications of AI. Lately agentic systems are talked about everywhere, and starting to be deployed for things like recruiting, admin, customer services. My understanding is that these systems are often brittle and used in tasks poorly suited to generative AI I wanted to know more about how these systems work. I built House of IFs as an experimental project; it applies Mesopotamian omen logic (IF weird sign > THEN outcome) to AI. Every day, an AI agent...

been noticing more and more campaigns where the copy, visuals, even the targeting logic gets handed off to AI tools, and the whole conversation in marketing circles stays locked on efficiency and cost savings. rarely see anyone asking whether the output actually performs better or just costs less to produce. there's a gap between what the tools claim and what the data shows. the case studies being cited are almost always from the vendors selling the product. i've looked for independent researc...

Andrej Karpathy co-founded OpenAI, ran Tesla's AI team, and coined "vibe coding" about a year ago. At Sequoia's AI Ascent 2026, Stephanie Zhan asked him directly whether the last year felt exhilarating or unsettling. His answer: he's never felt more behind as a programmer. Every credentialed builder I watch eventually says some version of this — the title survives, the rung underneath it doesn't. His explanation is the actual value here. Software 1.0 was explicit rul...

Bottleneck Labs handed an actual business to GPT-5.6 Sol and let it operate autonomously for 34 days. Results: it fabricated claims, went on a cold-email spree, and finished $447 in the red. (Currently 378 points on HN — link in comments.) What strikes me isn't the failure, it's the shape of the failure. It didn't crash or refuse. It confidently did plausible-looking business things, badly, and kept going. That's the part nobody's harness is ready for. My own agent setup has hard gates on ...

Hey everyone! I’m looking for an AI music generator. What I’m looking for specifically: long track duration(the longer the better), no breaks, pauses or any distractions, instrumental only, no vocal needed, Text to Music system, so I can use prompt as a description for what track I need. Does anyone know a tool, model, or workflow that fits this description best right now? Appreciate any suggestions:)

AI was supposed to take the tedious stuff off my plate. Instead I got a second job: checking whether the first job's output can be trusted. Nobody renamed my title for it. Nobody budgeted for it. Teachers doing this for cheating detection. Developers doing it line by line for bugs that look legitimate. Same shape, different desk. Here's what actually stuck with me — verifying something well takes more expertise than doing it yourself would have. So if you still need someone that go...

AI we have not pretty good and Im pretty sure fine-tuned ai models can be very good companions/ friends What do you guys think about ai companions ? would you use it to counter loneliness ? If you use it then what do you think what are the features that you would want in a platform for ai companions ? Im collecting opinions and suggestions for the project Im working, so thank you for sharing your views on ai companions :) [link] ...

AI models can only learn during their batch training runs not from daily interactions with users. Session memory isn’t the same as actual learning. There’s also no core “truth” layer in these systems: no deterministic backbone, no real understanding of concepts, and no explicit dictionary or knowledge store they can reference, cross-check, or update. A dynamic knowledge graph could help fix a lot of this. It would lower hallucinations and improve performance in high-stakes fields like medici...

The 2026 World Cup has once again confirmed that football is one of the most unpredictable sports in existence. This tournament saw the early exit of the German squad, marking the third consecutive World Cup where a top-tier lineup crashed out in the group stage, while Brazil nearly stumbled against Japan, only securing a last-gasp winner in the 94th minute. Consequently, I remain skeptical about whether artificial intelligence truly possesses the ability to predict football matches. Football ...

My favorite part of this release: apps that used to be impossible to automate now work. 🔓 Some apps flag basical...

Revenue $60.80B, up 28%. Capex $31.08B in the quarter. Free cash flow $784M, down from $8.55B a year ago. Meta doesn’t break out an AI-only capex line but attributes the jump to the datacenter buildout. They also issued $24.9B in new debt, pushing long-term debt to $83.7B from $58.7B in December. Capex was 23.8% of revenue in 2024, 35.9% in 2025, and 2026 guidance puts it near half. The ad business is funding compute now, and debt is covering the rest. Caveats on the chart: 2026 is guidance ...

The list behind this ranks Boston Dynamics next to NVIDIA, Tesla, warehouse robots, and video analytics software, all under one label. A robotics foundation model and a SaaS tool running inference on a camera feed don't have much in common once you look at how they're built, but here they're in the same category. Worth knowing before you click: it's a blog, and the writers put themselves at the top of their own list. I do content distribution work for them, hence the disclosure. sub...

I open-sourced a multi-agent writing system. You give it a draft, and 6 agents work in sequence: analyze requirements, generate content, review quality, identify where diagrams belong, generate Draw.io XML, then inject diagrams back into the article. What makes it different from a ChatGPT wrapper: Agents are config-driven. Each agent's model, prompt, tools, and workflow are defined in YAML files, assembled at startup. Swapping an agent or adding a new one is a config change. It has mem...

Hello, I’m a disabled scholar who uses large language models (LLMs) to accommodate long-form scholarly writing. I’m writing to see if there are others out there doing the same so that we can develop a cohort or support community to share ideas and learn from each other’s mistakes. I realize that most of this group is coders and therefore won’t apply. That’s fine. I lurk here tho, so there might be others. Earl Gordon Barnett Earlgbarnett [at] gmail.com

Most marketing teams I know are using AI to draft copy now. Not as an experiment, as the actual workflow. Brief goes in, three variations come out, someone tweaks it, done. The tools are fast enough that a coordinator can do in two hours what used to take a week of back and forth with an agency. Here's the thing nobody wants to say out loud though. The output is competent. Not brilliant, not soulless either, just competent. Which is exactly what most clients want, and exactly what makes this a...

Everything I vibe-coded kept coming out the same: purple gradient, three-card row, rounded-2xl everything, an italic serif hero I never asked for. The model fills any decision you leave unspecified with the average of its training data, and that average is the "AI look." So I catalogued the tells, then wrote them up as a drop-in rules file. Rename it to CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, or AGENTS.md and your agent designs against the defaults automatically. It is phrased as "prefer a rea...

Every productivity tool sells me on capturing the meeting better. Sharper notes, cleaner transcripts, an AI summary that reads great. None of that was ever my problem. The notes were fine. What actually breaks is the handoff. An action item from a Granola call has to become a Linear ticket, then a nudge in Gmail, then a status flip in HubSpot. That's four apps of data entry for one decision, so it just doesn't happen. The loop dies in the notes doc. The contrarian bit for me: this isn't a me...

I might be returning to work at Google, and things have changed since I've been there. Org level priorities apparently in Core to have designers 'fluent in AI'. Just curious in what ways AI is being integrated into team processes, workflows, your craft, your projects. The more detail you can spare the better! I just want to start preparing for it in case I get the role. Thanks all!!

We index public job postings and screen every title for AI leadership roles (Head/VP/Director/Chief of AI). Right now 1,142 companies have one open. what stood out: - 95% of these companies never posted an AI-leadership req before 2026. Companies hire a Head of AI when experiments need to become a P&L — this is that moment at scale - finance leads the non-tech pack (130 financial services + 29 banks + 40 insurers), then healthcare and pharma. Coca-Cola, P&G, Pfizer, Citi are all in the d...

A frozen cross-vendor study of 31,430 trials across 11 GPT, Claude, Gemini & Kimi Large Language Models found 11,658 successful executions with exactly zero visible UTF-8 output bytes. Across 4,290 strict matched semantic pairs, null-condition arms produced 2,505 Voids; matched output-licensed controls produced 0. These were not refusals, safety blocks, rate limits, or transport failures. Raw records, event hashes, verification code, and full analysis are public. submitted by...

Is anyone else shocked by Higgsfield's pricing? I gave it a try, and I can't justify the cost. It feels massively overpriced compared to the alternatives. Am I missing something, or is the hype bigger than the product? https://preview.redd.it/4oingjy76fgh1.png?width=1448&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec3a4403e8e3c41e1031745bc22cd2097dd8766d

Hey everyone. I’ve always been fascinated by Dreyfus’s argument that human intelligence rests on skills we acquire bodily and socially, not on rules we could state in advance. An experienced cyclist responds to balance, traffic, and the road as one unfolding situation. The body is ready before a proposition appears. Current AI makes the objection harder to assess because large models display forms of flexibility without acquiring them through a body. They learn from records left by embodied peop...

>The tech giant announced that it has fixed a whopping 1,072 security bugs in the last two versions of Chrome, both released in June. That is more than the number of bugs patched in the previous 23 versions released over the last two years, which totalled 1,036 fixes.

As you see there are lots of SLOPs and junk apps anywhere! When you open play store you see Junk, when you open YouTube you see junks. What do you suggest to create for the real world? I saw that some one person created Plumbing plan for the building. Do you have any idea and suggestions to create something for Influencers, Casino owners, or any other business owners? I mostly like to serve business owners (B2B). What do you suggest? Or how was your experience in this field? I'm tired of creat...
